I have puppies that are 2 weeks and 1 day old today they have not opened thier eyes yet is this normal?
Answers:
Each litter is different.
Were they born early?
If so sometimes puppies tend to do things a little later if born early.
Have a look at the puppies eyes and just see (dont touch) if the eye has any discharge or is still tightly shut.
I wouldnt worry though at this age.
Yes
it is normal. give them another week before getting concerned they will open them any day now. i miss breeding puppies :(
This is the time that they open so it will happen any day, keep watching!
Are their eyes clean and no sign of discharge of being swollen? If everything looks ok otherwise I wouldn't worry. If they still haven't opened by the end of the week give your vet a call and ask for their advice.
They must be so cute!
Enjoy your last few hours of cute quiet puppies because once those eyes open they will start their world exploration mission!
probably the puppies think they are still in their mummy's tummy.
Hello!
yep it's pretty normal.
when we had our puppies a couple of them opened their eyes at just under 2 weeks most of them opened theirs at about 2 1/2 weeks and one lazy little sod waited 3 weeks and a couple of days to open his! (but he did keep trying to get back to where he came from as well! lol!) some just take a little longer than others.
hope this helps

You have no business breeding puppies if you haven't done your reseaerch beforehand.
They normally open their eyes at 10 days. Some may take a little longer get the vet to make a house call if you are worried. Do NOT take the litter into the vet surgery as they will catch something nasty.
i think that that's normal my cat just had a kitten and the kittens eyes didn't open till like 2 to 3 weeks and she was opening her eyes little by little each day.but definably take them to the vet if it doesnt open in like 2 more weeks just in case
Don't ya just hate it when people nag that you shouldn't breed? Like, they've never been a beginner?! *exasperation*
Give 'em a few more days. How is mom? you might check to be certain they don't have any sleep goo sealing their eyelids shut. mom *should* take care of that but a warm wet washcloth *gently* can help if she's not.
Most puppies open their eyes at about 3 - 4 weeks old.
that woman is awful telling you you have no business breeding puppies. what does she know?! take no notice, everyone has to start somewhere. oooh people like her make me mad!
yes perfectly normally they will in there own time
yes, that's normal - can take up to three weeks for eyes to open
Yes, DONT try to hurry things along, it will all happen as and when its meant too. Why not do some research on line to help you. I remember how panicky i was when my dog had her first litter, now its a breeze.
